Knowledge of basic physics and its application to modeling and analysis

Simulation is the discipline of designing a model of an actual or theoretical physical system, executing the model on a digital computer, and analyzing the execution output. The use of a mathematical model to recreate a situation, often repeatedly, so that the likelihood of various outcomes can be more accurately estimated

Model is a digital representation of a system over some time period or spatial extent intended to predict the physical system’s performance in the real world.
